Running with Fear

Case 1: 4 hydras attack. 2 paladins tank. One had 3 on her, the other chasing the hydra that' had been attacking the squishies. Druid healed, hunter whatever he did, and warlock... fears.

/p Please don't fear.

[Party]Idiotlock: why? when i fear you guys chase after it easier cuz its closer to u.

/p No they don't. Please stop it.

Case 2: Party goes smoothly. Aggros gets kept, and I AoE tank. Warlock... fears.

/p Please don't fear. We need to get hit in order to generate aggro.

No response.

Fine. Still nice enough.

Case 3: Waves after Kelris. Second tank logged out. Druid, hunter and warlock left. 2 turtles attack. Good. I head to them, immediately hit consecration, seal of righteousness, judgement of righteousness, seal of- FUCKING HELL, WHY DID YOU FEAR?! WHAT CAN 2 TURTLES DO TO ME?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

I'm still nice. I am.

/p Why did you fear!

[Party]Idiotlock: theres nothing in this room, so no aggro

/p It's not the matter of aggro or not, but we need to get hit in order to generate threat. Working with us is different than working with warriors.

How many times do I have to repeaaaaaaaaat?! I'm sure you'd be booted from the group by said warriors each time, doofus.

[Party]Idiotlock: excuseblablablaexcuse i have a pally.

My thoughts: So what if you have a pally? For all I know I can roll a level 1 warlock and say I have a lock! Your pally can bite my shield.

I remain civil.

/p I have to RUN AROUND.

[Party]Idiotlock: taking back aggro is easy.

OMGWTFYOUMOTHAFUCKASKINNYUNDEADWHORE

/p ... Urgh. Do whatever you wish.

And wow, all that time I argued NO ONE stepped up to defend me, even though later the (amazing) healer agreed with me. In a whisper.

Damn them all.

But at least I got a nice grinding weapon. Shorsha turned 27 and getting weirder.

/cheer

Starting the Chronicle

So. I admit this isn't the best title... but it seems to fit right now. I'm the player of a level 22 paladin, Shorsha, of realm D'arthremar (and no, I can't spell my own realm). Since the start of playing WoW I've been into tanking. Actually, I've made a few warriors, enjoyed tanking with them, but they were never really my forte. Thus after a few research, and because blood elves look hot, I decided to make a tankadin, with the underlying noble intent to prove to the community and pallies are meant to tank too.

I've perhaps only done around five instances up to date, but damn it, it was fuuuun. Gained some friends on my friend list from previous instances. Today, though, was disheartening at best. Really disheartening. I encountered a bad PuG. It all started in BFD, when I partied with two rogues, one shaman friend, and a mage. We pretty much agreed on me tanking, but alas, the rogue kept rushing and tanked everything on sight during the run. We didn't go far, of course, wiping as that cocky idiot started pulling like, oh, a mere room full of elite murlocs. Far before that I wished that he would just die, then I'll have a reason to leave. Well, he did. So my and shaman left, and I whispered another paladin I've run with previously, to be offered a spot in her group. Suffice to say, though I didn't tank, it was a damn enjoyable run.

Result of the day:
- Two blues
- Attempts to pull threat from a frenzied twinked rogue trying to play tank
- Experience on healing

A long way to go :)
